I had 0 credit history for so long because I was scared of credit cards. Finally, when I got a decent job, I applied for a secured discover card(they were the only one who would even look at me with no credit) and put my small recurring charges on it. Within 6 months they sent me my security deposit back and gave me an actual credit card. I went from no credit to a 740 credit score in about a year. It's been wild. I started at a $200 limit, my limit is now $3000 and I have had the card for a year and a half.
Every time my limit is raised my usage percentage gets lower and my credit score goes higher because I still only use it for small purchases.
Sorry this is long, I am just so excited I am doing financial things on my own and responsibly lmao
